[rich p]

I'll admit it's a struggle but so far my team is...

Georges Simenon Tin Tin Captain Haddock Poirot

Fellaini Hazard Eddie Merckx

Dembelé

Benteke Magritte

You can pretty much say anyone French is Belgian and people accept it. Like Canadians, you can say anyone American is a Cannuck. Won't work on here, like, as the suspicious will Google it but a pub argument, you can do it then. Gerard Depardieu, oh yeah, Brussels, him. Marion Cotillard? Antwerp, she's from. Works like that really.

Okay, good call.
Plastic B warming the bench, and I might replace Magritte with Jean Claude and play the long ball game.
René is a bit of a lightweight in the rough and tumble of the CycleChat Premiership.
